Walt Disney Pictures (first era)

1980–1984

1984-2007

2006–2012 (primary), 2016-present (secondary)

In 2006, Walt Disney Pictures started using a new intro with a new CGI animation with a very complex depiction of the Sleepy Beauty Castle and its surroundings. It was a clear change from the old blue and white intro with its stylized castle and 2D animation.

The new intro was first used on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which premiered in the United States on July 7, 2006. The first Pixar movie to feature this logo was WALL-E.

If you watch a Disney movie in 3-D and see this logo, "WALT DISNEY" will zoom in.

Disney

2011–2016

Starting with the release of The Muppets, "WALT" and "PICTURES" have been removed from the logo. This was used before 2011 as the on-screen logo for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment from 2007-2016.

Walt Disney Pictures (second era)

2016-present

In 2016, the company was renamed the original Walt Disney Pictures, in order to reflect on its production expansion to releasing more films for child-friendly audiences and for audience aged 13 (or 12 for anyone living in the UK) due to the acquisition of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in June 2016. Although the word 'Disney' will still in use as a print logo but the pronouncement name is 'Walt Disney PICTURES' instead.
